INTRODUCTION.
An Egyptian tomb has two essential parts, — a burial place and an ollering
place. In the predynastic and the early dynastic periods, the actual objects
intended for the use of the spirit, including food, were put in the burial place,
while periodical gifts of food and drink were, no doubt even then, brought
to the offering place. From the end of the Third Dynasty (perhaps earlier) the
custom can be traced of representing the objects intended for the use of the
spirit by paintings or painted reliefs on the walls of the ofl'ering place, while
the burial place contained, during the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties, very little
besides the burial. During this period, in addition to the objects, the paintings
include all the ordinary scenes from life, — sowing, reaping, cattle-herding,
hunting, cooking, etc. Clearly the purpose is to provide the spirit of the dead
owner with a spirit world in essentials like the world of the living.
During the early part of the Sixth Dynasty statuettes of servants performing
their usual functions are placed in the seriai. (or statue chamber), along with
the statues of the owner and his family. The serdab is, it must be remembered,
a part of the ofl'ering place because of its origin''', and because of the slit
connecting it with the ofl'ering chamber. Fj-om the later part of the Sixth
Dynasty (perhaps later, as the point in time is not well fixed), these servant
groups begin to be placed in the burial chamber, as were the actual ofl'erings
of the older period. The groups are, however, considerably developed over
those placed in the serdah, and are usually of wood. A majority of the scenes
represented in the paintings have been found, — models of feasting, brick-
making, slaughtering, cooking, cultivating, sowing the grain and similar
activities. Among these are models of boats of various sorts, full- rigged and'
manned, — the same boats which are found in the scenes of the ofl'ering
chamber. A few practical objects are still placed in the burial chamber : but
the greater part of the objects are, like the scenes from life, mere models, —
'" All the earliest serdabs are simply walled -up offering niches, and statues are often placed in
the offering chamber itself. See Petrie, Medum, pi. VII.
II —
models of pots and pans, weapons and implements. Thus the use of models in
the burial chamber is a development of the custom of representing similar
objects and scenes in the pictures on the walls of the offering chamber'''; and
the purpose is, in both cases, the same, — to provide the spirit with the
essentials of an enjoyable life. The belief in magic underlying both customs is
obviously the same.
Every type of boat found among the models is also to be found in the tomb
scenes. Just as the tomb scenes sometimes represent ceremonies connected with
the burial, — the funerary bark proceeding to the western desert or to Abvdos,
the ofTerings and objects being carried to the grave. — so also, models of
ceremonial objects are placed in the grave alongside the objects used in ordinary
life. Thus, models of funerary barks are found alongside models of the boats
of everyday life. Moreover, as tlie spirit came in the Middle Empire to be
conceived as following the wandering of the Sun God in the Under-World, solar
barks were also placed in the grave for the use of the spirit on this nightly
voyage.
On the basis of function, then, the models fall into three great divisions : —
(i) Tlie boats for ordinary use (practical boats for travelling, carrying freight, hunting or
pleasure).
(q) The boats used for funeral purposes (ceremonial boats).
(3) The solar ])oats used in the Under-World (magical boats).
To these may be added a fourth class : —
(/i) The boats placed in the temples for the use of the gods, or in ceremonies such as the
Osiris mysteries (divine boats).
The last-named are, of course, both ceremonial and magical.
On the basis of structure, or rather structural origin, the boats may be
divided again into two great classes, — (A) the wooden boats, and (B) the
papyrus boats. It is at present impossible to trace any connection between the
earliest wooden boats (Type I) and the papyrus rafts (Type III), for the earliest
known representations of wooden boats (Type I) present a characteristic form
of their own, based on the structure.
'" Tlie us(! of models is well-known even in the predynaslic period; but the earlier models
are natural size, — wood and clay beiny used to represent flint and slone.
Coinbinln^j the functional and the structural characteristics, the following
series of types are distinguishahle*'' : —
1 A — Type I. Square cut river-boat, two rudders. Old Empire.
1 A — Type II. River-boat with curling stern and single rudder. Middle Empire.
1 B — Type III. Swamp boat, papyrus-raft. From the Predynastic Period down.
1 B — Type IV. Papyrus-form wooden boat. Old to Middle Empire.
2 B — ryp*^ ^- Funeral bark of papyrus-form. Middle Empire.
3 A — Type VT. Solar bark of uncertain structural origin. Middle Empire.
li A — Type VII. Divine barks of at least two forms. All periods.
The river boats (Types I and II) are fitted out for both sailing and rowing
or paddling, as are the Nile craft of the present day. The ordinary proceeding
on long trips was the same in antiquity as now. With the prevailing north
wind, the boat was sailed up the river; but on the return journey, the boat was'
rowed with the stream, or allowed to drift, guided by the oars. To avoid the
effect of the adverse wind, the mast was removed and laid at rest along
the middle of the deck or on the roof of the cabin. The distinction, therefore,
between sailing vessels and rowing vessels is not an essential one. It was
customary to place the boats in the tombs in pairs, one rigged out for sailing
upstream, and one for rowing downstream. They were even correctly orientated
in the graves, the sailing boats with the bow turned south, and the rowing
boats turned north (see Schafeb, Prieslergrdher, p. i6)''-'. The existence of
powerfully manned boats with thirty or forty rowers is clear from the ancient
models and reliefs, and their usefulness for pressing affairs is obvious. In the
Beni Hasan tomb -scenes, they are also represented towing the funerary bark.
In modern times such boats are, of course, made unnecessary by the use of
power launches and steam dahabiyehs. However a number of boats with canopies
and manned by eight to sixteen rowers are at present in use on the waters of
the Aswan reservoir.
The models and the reliefs show the following chronological succession (the
type numbers refer to the descriptions given above) : —
IV-V Dynasty. — Boats of Types I (usually with paddlers) and III, as boats used by the living.
VI Dynasty. — Boats of Types I (witb rowers), III and IV, as boats used by the living.
''' In general, see Erman, Life in Aiicienl Egypt, chap. xix.
'^' See also Garstang's report on Beni Hasan in Atmales, V, p. 216. The photograph, pi. I, n" 3,
shows the boats orientated as described above.
Intermediate Period between VI"' and XII"' Dynasties (limits not exactly determinable). —
Boats of Types 1, H, III and IV, used by the living : and funeral barks of Type V.
All Dynasty. — Boats of Types II, III and IV, used by the living; funeral barks of Type V;
and solar barks of Type VI, used only by the dead.
iVbw Empire. — Apparently the only boat models arc those found in Royal Tombs, which are
models of royal pleasure boats developed from Type IV and decorated accordingly. Models
of divine boats (mostly of stone) have been found in temples, but were also in use in- earlier
times.
Models of boats occur in wood, pottery, stone, metal and ivory, although the
great niajorilv of boats are of wood. The technical construction of these models
does not differ essentially from that of other objects of the same material. The
pottery boats are hand-made of various clays; the stone boats show the same
technique as the statues; and the comparatively rare ivory boats are made in
the same wav as the other ivory objects. The same is true of the wooden boats.
The hull is usuallv made of a single block of wood, sometimes repaired by
inserting pieces with pegs. The block is often eked out by pieces pegged on the
bow and stern. The whole is covered, in most cases, with a layer of white
plaster and painted. The rigging, the furniture and the crew are of separate
pieces pegged on or fastened in holes, and individually often formed of several
parts pegged together.
All this carpentrv is cunningly done in true Egyptian style, and presents a
number of interesting features, — the numbering of the crew in n" ^1798, the
position marks for the svmbolic objects on n° /i86o, and the beautiful minute
work on n" 4gi8. But a greater interest attaches to the representation of the
actual structure of the boat. In the earlier models (Type I), the structure is
shown in miniature (except hull planking) in the model. But the later types
have adopted a color scheme which represents schematically the structure, —
red or yellow'"' for the heavv planking and beam work, white for the moveable
deck planking, and black for the ties of leather, cord or metal which bind the
boat together'"-'. This color scheme is very clearly illustrated by n° ^910, where
the mast-shoe is painted in red and black on the deck and the -object in the
position of the mast, and in the rudder n° /tSai^, where the black bands which
bind the blade to the shaft are clearly shown. In the papyrus boats, the hull
is usuallv yellow as on the reliefs. In the funeral barks and the solar barks, the
'" Type I is painted red or yellow in llie Old Empire reliefs.
'*' See Christian Belger, Z. Aeg.. vol. XXXIII (iSgG), p. a/i-Sa.
color is only used on the deck to represent structure; on the hull, the rigging
and the furniture, it is used to mark the peculiar purpose of the boat. The
funeral barks have almost all green hulls with yellow ends, while the solar
barks are usually white.
I. THE OLDER TYPE OF WOODEN IIIVER BOAT.
From Meir (iSgS, tomb of Pepy-en-ankh-kam)''^, come models of a type
of river boat which corresponds to boats seen on most of the reliefs of the Old
Kingdom. Although otherwise well preserved, no figures were with these models
(when brought to the Museum), and no trace (such as peg-hole or plaster-
print) was discernible which might indicate that there ever were figures on
them. Whether the models were placed in the graves without crews or not^.
they must be considered, in the light of the other boats, as needing steersman,
look-out and sailors. In fact, such boats are shown in the reliefs of the Old
Empire, full- manned, both as travelling boats and as freight boats (see Relief
of \u\, Guide to Cairo Museum, n" 38, VI"' Dynasty : see also Davis, Deir-el-
Gebrdwi, I, pi. X, XVI, and II, pi. VII : see Lepsius. Denhndlcr, abt. II, Bl. g,
10. 12. 22, 2^, 28, /i3, ^5, 61, 62, 64, 96 and 106).
The models of this type are of two forms, — one flat- bottomed with a two-
legged mast (n°' Z1882, /i883, hSSti, /1886). and the other round-bottomed
with a single mast (n°' ^1887 and /1888).
1. HULL.
Navigation on the Nile, where shifting sandbanks present unexpected shal-
lows, required in ancient times as now, a stable boat of light draft. The largest
native boats of the present day require from Bo to 100 cent, of water, and
stability is gained by great breadth. The large ceremonial boats found at
Dahshur'-^ show clearly a form which, although more graceful than the modern
boats, is light of draft and yet stable because of its great breadth. So also the
models of Type I are, in form, broad and shallow. The flat-bottomed form has
'" One other boat, n° /i88o, a papyrus-form boat of Type IV was found with these models ol
Type I.
"" See De Morgan, Fouilles a Dahchour, vol. I, p. 83, fig. 2o3. In the Cross-section, the keel-
beam is, unfortunately, not represented.
broad square-cut bow and stern, while the round-bottomed form has broad
rounded bow and stern. In n" liSS^j. the round stern is covered by a square-cut
projecting framework, a continuation of the rail.
Structurallv, modem Nile boats present two dilTerent varieties : — (i) boats
built with a framework of keel-beam and internal ribs to which the planking
is nailed, and (2) boats built merely of very heavy planking nailed together
with heavy iron spikes driven in slanting, usually with a keel-beam (which
does not project, however, to form a keel), and with braces (seats) across the
top. This second form appears to us a fragile and almost impracticable structure;
but the fact remains that it is still in use in Nubia ''' by preference in the dan- ^v.
gerous cataract region, and is seldom seen in the quiet stretches north of Aswan.
The Dahshur boats, the only large ancient models at present available, show
the same type of structure, but with the planks mortised together and tied with
metal bands (see Mednm, pi. XI), instead of being fastened with iron spiki's.
Moreover the ancient representations of boat- building scenes (for example,
Beni-Hasan, pi. XXIX) depict the same type of mortised planking in process of
manufacture. The evidence of the models is not conclusive, for in all of them
the hull is hollowed out of a single piece of wood. Yet it may be said that even
the models with the most careful details show no trace of internal framework
(ribs). 'y^
In view, therefore, of the modern boats, the evidence of the reliefs, the
structure of the Dahshur boat and the representations of the structure of other
ancient boats in the models, it is as near certain as can be that the structure of
the actual wooden boats of this and nil other practical types was of mortised planking.
2. DECK.
Onlv n° /i886 presents a deck. This deck covers the whole boat, and in the
model consists of a single board. In the original, of course, it must have been
made of planks laid on the cross braces; but it was not possible in the model
to see whether or not the cross-pieces were in place (probably not). The other
boats all have three cross-braces, — Hat boards sprung into slots in the sides
and curving upwards in the middle. These cross-pieces bore the mast and other
posts.
'" In Dongola, ia February-April 191 3, I saw no oilier type of native boat.

3. RIGGING.
(a) Mast. Spars am) Sail.
The ilal bottomed form (n"^ /1882. 4883. /i88/i, /1886) has a two-legged
mast. This was stayed with ropes to how and stern, and bore holes for ropes
by which the spars were suspended. In n°' ^887 and /1888, the after mast-stays
appear to have been bound to the head of a post set in the after cross-piece, —
a flat post with a big eyelet pn the upper end.
The sail was. as usual, square-cut. N° 4886 appears also to have borne a
two-legged mast, in spite of the long canopy covering the whole boat. The
sail would have been operated from the roof of the canopy as is often shown in
the reliefs. N°' 4887 and 4888 have single masts.
In the reliefs of the IV"* loVI"' Dynasties, the boat of Type I is shown with a
two-legged mast and a rectangular sail suspended from two spars. The spars are
hung by ropes to the top of the mast, and the upper spar is raised or lowered
by ropes passing through the rungs in the top of the mast. The sail is turned
by a rope fastened to each end of the upper spar passing through a loop at
the stern, and manipulated by a man at the stern or on the roof of the canopy'''.
In another relief'-', the man on the roof controls the sail with a single rope
fastened to the right end of the upper spar. The lower spar, when it is repre-
sented, appears to pass between the legs of the mast'^' and to be turned by
hand. The sail was no doubt, bound and fastened to the spars as in Type 11.
When, on long trips, the boat was rowed or paddled, the mast, even the
two-legged mast, was taken out, the sail was rolled up with the spars, and both
mast and spars laid on the roof of the cabin'"', or on two forked mast-rests'^'.
(h) Rudders.
Boats of Type I were, according to the reliefs, steered with one or more
pairs of rudders braced (? tied?) against the side of the boat, and held in the
hands of two or more steersmen. It is inconceiveable that the steering took

place by turning the rudder on its axis as in Type II, by the mere strength of
the hands on the shaft. On the contrary, the rudders must liave been levered
against the side of the stern so that the steersmen on one side pulled the shaft
in, causing the blade to be thrust outward, and so turned the boat towards that
side. The steersmen on the other side probal)ly allowed their rudders to lloat
or pulled them up out of the water. The broad overhanging stern appears to
have been especially constructed to facilitate steering by this method. N°* hSS^
and liSSli have in the third or last cross-piece in the stern two posts joined by
a cross-piece (now missing, see pi. XIII). This may have served as a rest for
the rudders (now missing), and would indicated that there were two rudders
similar to those of Type IV, one on each side.
(c) Oars and Paddles.
As the crews are wanting in the models, it is again necessary to turn to the
reliefs for the oars and paddles of this type of boat. The older reliefs, those of
the IV'"" and V"' Dynasties, show paddles''' as a rule, while the later Old Empire
reliefs, those of the V"" and VI"" Dynasties''*, show rowers. The paddlers appear
to be standing, while the rowers are both seated and standing. In Saqqarah, 3 i
(^Dcnkmaler, II, io3. io4), the rowers are seated with the inside foot braced
against the cross-seat or bench in front of each one, as is the modern custom.
In Giza, 86 {Denhmdler, II. in), the rowers have the inside hand on the oar
in front and the outside hand on the oar behind, so that they formed a connected
chain swinging in unison.
The paddles and oars show the same slight variations in form 'which are
found in Type II (q. v.).
A. FURNITURE.
Onlv n° /i886 shows a canopy. No other furniture was indicated. On the
reliefs these boats are usually represented with a long canopy like that of
n° 4886, or with a canopy covering tiie projecting stern frame (see Lepsius,
Denhmdler, Ergdnzunfrsband , Tafel XXXVIl).
On the relief of \m\, these boats are shown both as travelling boats and as

freiglit boats, loaded with provisions and ag^ricultural produce. In Deir-el-
Gebidwi, II, {)!. VII, they appear under sail, and one of them is lowing a funeral
bark. Thus, from the reliefs they appear to bo merely a more ancient form than
Type II, used for the same purpose.
TYPE II.
The models representing river boats of the later or Middle Empire type
(Type II) all have the same general form of hull, marked by the curled-up
stern and the single steering oar. One slight variation is presented by n°' 6869,
/igiy and ^961, which have at the tip of the stern a projecting fork to hold
the stem of the rudder.

1. HULL.
The Hat bottom presented by all these models of boats is, of course, merely
a device for making the models stand upright in the proper position relative
to the water line when afloat. It seems, in fact, to mark the water-line,
'" Tlie boats llius marked have a rudder fork on the tip of the stern.
''^I This boat has a crew of sailors standing about the place where the mast ought to be, and is
a typical sailing boat; yet the place for the mast is occupied by a mast-rest which was used only
on the down journey, i. e. when the boat was being rowed. The mistake was ancient.
'" In reality fitted out as a funerary bark, and otherwise anomalous, see p. aB, note 1.
although the stability of the boat would appear to require that the hull should
lie much deeper in the water than this line usually indicates. However a com-
parison with the boats represented on the reliefs shows that the proportions of
the hull above the water-line, its relative length and depth, are in most of the
models the same as on the reliefs, and therefore probably not essentially diffe-
rent from the proportions of boats in actual use. Apparently if the models were
conceived as round-bottomed with the same depth as at present, the result
would be a stable, light-draft hull of the same form as that discussed above
under Type I (see p. vi), and constructed in the same manner of mortised
planking.
Thus, while the hull-forms presented by the small models are, perhaps, not
exact copies of boats in use, they are, in any case, such close approximations
that they suffice for all magical purposes. The main points to be observed are : —
(i) The tapering section of the round bow with its projecting stick. (2) The
square-cut stern curling forward to form a rest for the shaft of the single
rudder. (3) The low rail formed usually by the side beams or by continuations
of the planking of the hull. The low structural keel formed by the great keel-
beam is never represented.
2. DECK.
The skeleton of the deck was formed by cross beams which served partly as
seats and partly as lateral braces. The space in the stern, being in constant
use by the steersman, is usually represented by solid planking (red); but the
other spaces are white, and were probably covered by a movable planking, as
is the case in modern dahabiyehs. In sailing, the planking would be laid to
permit the use of the deck: in rowing, the planking might be removed to admit
the legs of the rowers. The models n"' ^798, ^799, 48oo, 6801, appear to
show the deck open, that is, with the deck planking removed: but all the rest
have the deck closed with white planking. In all cases, the rowers are represented
as seated on the red cross-bars (seats), or on blocks'"'. In the reliefs, the rowers
appear both standing'-* and seated. In modern dahabiyehs, the rowers usually
stand on the deck; but in undecked boats, they either sit on the cross-braces
(seats) or stand in the bottom, with one foot pushing on the cross-brace.
'" The use of blocks in some of the models is confirmed by the reliefs, see Newberry, Beni Hasan,
1, pi. XVI (Tomb a); Lepsius, Detikmiiler, II, i aC ; Newberry, Beni Hasan, I, pi. XXIX (Tomb 3).

3. RIGGING.
At tile bow is a Hat stick with broad concave end, — possibly some kind of
lender. In the models, the bow- stick is pefjged to the deck, but in real boats
it appears from the black marks to have been securely bound. N" /igiS (sailing
vessel) and n° 696 1 (sailing vessel) have no bow-stick, but in the case of n° ^196 1 ,
the bow, being cut olT llal, is bound with hide (white hair with black spots).
(a) The Mast, Spars and Sail.
The main deck is almost always slightly lower than bow, stern and rail , and
is divided by the red bars into an odd number of pairs of white spaces, — 5,
7, 9, 11, i3, 10. Rarely does one find an even number of pairs, as in n°* I1S02
and ^909. Between the members of the middle pair, there is an extra white
space, a narrow rectangle, which contains the mast- hole, and represents the
framework of the mast-socket in the actual boat. The butt-end of the mast must
have rested in a hole in the keel-beam supported by wooden blocks fastened
to the hull, or in a socket built on the keel -beam with wooden blocks. It is
possible that the mast-shoe (n°' ^799. ^910^ ^'9^^' ^9^^) I'epresented on
some of the boats, but not on all, is to be thought of as resting on the bottom
of the boat; but the models show the mast -shoe on the deck, and it is
visible in some of the representations as if on the deck (see Beni Hasan, II,
pi. XII). In either case, the mast-shoe braced against the forward side of the
mast. The mast, usually a single stick, was stayed against lateral movement by
side ropes fastened in the rail, against forward movement by ropes fastened to
the rudder post or to the rail at the stern, and against backward movement by
ropes fastened to each side of the bow. The models often bear holes in the
rail, apparently for these rope-stays (see n°' ^798 (/), ^799 (h), etc.). The
greatest strain was, of course, that in the forward direction, and the reliefs
show the heaviest staying in the ropes fastened to the rudder-post to counteract
the forward strain. A two-legged mast does not appear on any of the reliefs of
this type of boat known to me, nor was it found in any of the models in the
Museum (see, however, Type I, p. vii). The sailing vessels are all square-
rigged, with a single mast, two yards and a square sail.
The mast found in most of the models was a plain tapering stick, uncolored
or painted red or yellow. In some cases, the tip bore eyelets worked in the
mast itself (n"' ^798, ^869, ^9i3, etc.), or formed of bronze or copper
(n° /1918). In two cases (n"' ^95i, ^956), the models had mast tips of green
glazed steatite with eyelels. These, I believe, represent bronze caps with bronze
eyelets. The number of eyelets was irregular, — five or seven in number. The
odd eyelet on the top was, no doubt, for tbe stay-rope or ropes which passed
over the mast from bow to stern. The side eyelets were for the ropes used for
hoisting and lowering the upper yard with the sail.
The upper yard was suspended by three or five ropes on each side, fastened
to tbe yard at intervals, passing up through tbe eyelets and brougbt down the
mast to tbe deck, where they were tied around the mast (see n" 6861). The
lower yard was suspended in tbe same way except that the ropes were tied
to the mast below the eyelets (see especially Beni Hasan, I, pis. XIV and XXIX).
In some of the reliefs the spars appear to be aft of the mast (1. e. on the windward
side); but the point is unclear.
The square-cut sail had the upper and lower edges hemmed or bound with
cord. These edges were lashed to the yards by ropes running through holes just
inside the hem (bound edges?) and around the yard (see n°' /1861 and ^986),
being tied bard at the end of tbe yard. The sail was raised and lowered by
raising or lowering the upper vard. The few sails preserved in the models do
not show anv reefing strings'''. The sail was turned to tbe wind, and controlled
by means of a rope near each end of each yard (see Beni Hasan, I, pi. XIV. and
the ropes on n°' 48/n. hS^Vj, ^qBG).
When not in use, that is, on tbe journey downstream, the mast was taken
out and laid along the axis of tbe boat with the butt of the mast in the bow.
In this position the masl and yards were supported out of the way above the
deck bv a forked post set up in the mast- socket (see Beni Hasan, I, pi. XVI,
Gizeh and Rifeh, pi. XC, and n"^ /i83/i, /igS 1).
(//) Rudder-post and Rudders.
The rudder-post is much thicker and more solid than the mast. It has a
square butt and a rounded or octagonal shaft (n"' ^^798, ^918). The top is
rounded and slightlv grooved. It was without doubt, firmly and permanently
'" In Dongola, a square sail is used on llie modern boats but bunjj diagonallij not borizontally.
There arc two spars, the lower one bein{; very heavy. The end of the lower spar is kept down in
the boat and both ends are controlled with light ropes. The sail is furled, shortened or lenghtened
by rolling or unrolling it on the lower spar. The lower spar has at right-angles through a hole in
the end a stick, which is used for this operation. It is very doubtful however whether a similar
device was used on the ancient Egyptian boats. None of the spars preserved show any trace of the
handle which is absolutely necessary to turn the spar. Moreover the ancient sails, it is quite clear,
were hung horizontally.
fastenod in its sockol in the last cross-beam, and luiihcr in a socket in the
bottom (keol-boam), as it was never removed (unlike the mast), and was
utilized to sfav the mast against its greatest strain.
The rudder consisted of a long round stem and a large ovoid blade. The
black marks on the blades (see n"' /i8oi, 6820, ASaS, liSkk, etc.) show that
each blade consisted of two boards fastened to the end of the stem by means of
cords or metal bands. Tenons were certainly also used in the thickness of the
plank, but the black marks seem to indicate only the thong bonds. The stem
itself was also sometimes of two pieces joined together in the middle, and bound
with leather or metal.
Above, the stem of the rudder was usually merely tied against the top or the side
of the top, but in one case it rested on a peg in the side of the rudder-post near
the lop (n° ^918). Below, the stem rested against the curling stern, and was
tied securely in place with cords (see n"' ^798, etc.. holes in stern, and Bent
Hasan, I. pi. XVI, etc.). The handle was a separate stick fastened in a slanting
hole in the stem, so that the handle fell vertically just aft of the stern post and
parallel to it. By swinging this handle to the right or left, the steersman turned
the blade in the water, thus steering the boat to the right or to the left. That is,
the bow turned with the hand; not contrariwise, as is the case with an ordinary
modern boat-rudder. In some cases, where the steersman sat on the roof of the
cabin in order to see the look-out who gave the steering order, the handle was
forward of the stern-post; but the action of the rudder was not altered by this
position. Ordinarily the height of the stern was sufficient to permit the steersman
a clear view of the look-out.
This method of steering was, mechanically speaking, a great advance on the
rudder held in the hand (Type I). The labor-saving alone was considerable;
for, whereas Type I required at least two and more often four or more steersmen.
Type III required only one. Moreover, the strain on the rudder was less and the
control more perfect. The essential differences between the two types all center
about the steering apparatus. The change to a single mast was an additional
advance but did not necessitate any change in form. The new steering arran-
gement required, however, a different form of stern. The old stern-post for the
mast-stays was enlarged to support the upper end of the rudder while continuing
its function as a post for the stays; and the stern was remodeled into a form
suitable for supporting the shaft of the rudder and throwing the blade well
back in the water. I have no doubt that it was the invention of this new method of
steering which brought about the development of Tijpe II out of Type I.
(V) Oaks and Paddles.
The better made oars have spoon blades (see n"' 4863, 4863, ^870, ^871,
US'j'j, /i8q5), oval or ovoid in outline with a slight projection at the end. The
end of the stem overlaps the blade at the back for about a quarter of the length
of the blade or less. The black marks on n" kS^^ indicate that the blade and
the stem were of separate pieces, the end of the stem being tied with metal or
cord to the blade : and no doubt this was the case in all the large oars. The stem
itself (n" 4865, 4862, 4863, 4896) is marked with a broad black band in
the middle, showing that it was either made of two pieces fitted together
and wrapped, or that the stem, being of a single piece, was strengthened by
wrapping. Modern Egvptian oars are often strengthened (or repaired) at this
point bv strips of wood, nailed to the stem. The oarlocks were simply rope
loops passing through holes in the rail (n°' 6798, 4869), and around the
stem. The modern Nile oarlocks are also of rope loops, not fastened in holes
but hung over wooden pegs fixed vertically in holes in the top of the rail; and
the oar is levered against the peg.
The paddles, which are unusual, in fact anomalous, in Type II, are of a
slightly different form, shorter and very broad and round at the tip, very much
like the paddles usual in Indian canoes. Another form is leaf-shaped, with the
end pointed''*.
{d) Buffers, Mallets a\d Stakes.
Buffers are found on n"' 4844, 486i and 4910''^*. N" 4910 was, no doubt,
a wooden buffer covered with hide. The others may be of wood, or of heavy
woven sacks filled with palm fibre.
The boats were fastened to the bank, as at the present day'^', by means of
heavy stakes driven in the ground with big wooden mallets (ovoid clumps
of wood with a handle), see Bent Hasan, II, pi. XII, and'PETRiE, Gizeh and
Bifch, pi. XG. No examples, however, were found in the models of this type in
the Museum (see however the New Empire mallets, n*" 5i58-5i6o).
The landing-plank, which is never missing in modern boats, must also have
been in use in antiquity, but no examples occur among the Museum models'"'.

A. FURNITURE.
None of the tnodels in the Museum, of boats rig^jed for rowing show any
accomodation whatever for the use of the owner and passengers, nor indeed any
figures except the necessary members of the crew (n"' -'lygS, ^799, ^800,
/1801. /i8o5, 684/», liSho, /i8/i6, ^869, /1879, /1909, 6913, and the two
l)oats equipj)e(l for saih'ng, n"' 486 1 and ^^12). These may be intended for
the tug boats represented on the monuments. — the heavily manned boats
which tow the ceremonial boats; but even the tug boats in the reliefs are repre-
sented with cabins or canopies. There are, moreover, examples of models outside
the Museum collection in which rowing boats of the general form under dis-
cussion have canopies (see Schafer, Priestergriihcr, p. 72). Therefore no impor-
tance can be attached to the fact that the rowing boats of this type in the
Museum are bare of all furniture save rigging and crew. It may be merely a
question of space on the deck of the model.
The sailing boats are, however, with the exception of n"" /1861 and ^91 2,
furnished with a cabin or canopy, sheltering a figure of the owner seated usually
on a throne or chair (n"' 48o2, 68/ii, ^910, ^918, ^901, ^953). In the case
of n" /i959''*, the canopy shelters a bier with a mummy; and n" ^9^7 has a
figure of the owner without a canopy. In n° ^901, the canopy is forward of
the mast; in the others, aft, near the rudder-post. In n° ^910 there is also a
box-like object in front of the mast-rest, and what may be a sealed jar of beer
in a wooden stand behind the mast- rest.
The canopies or cabins on these boats, as well as on those of Type I, are
usually of a practical type, differing from the chapel -like canopies on the
papyrus boats and the funerary barks'-'. They are intended to shelter the owner
from the sun and the wind. The most elaborately constructed example is on
n° ^918, which is especially interesting on account of the representation of the
wood-work, the doors and locks. The framework on n° ^910 is fastened with
cord where the horizontal sticks cross the uprights, and the roof is overlaid with
a square cover made of hides sewed together. This is the usual form of cabin
for ships of Tvpe II (see Schafer, Prieslcrgrdber, p. 72 and 70, and n°' ^19 20
and A92 1).
'" The crew of n" igBa is also anomalous, including waiting-women and a priest, like the
ships of the dead; and the model is probably the result of an ancient confusion as was n° igio
(see p. IX, note 2).
f'^' See, however, n° 484 1.
5. CREW.
The crews found on the models of rowing boats are very uniform, — a look-
out (captain, pilot), a steersman, and six to forty rowers, arranged in pairs.
The rowers face the stern in all cases, in spite of n" /i8oi on pi. II (see note,
p. 6, foot-note li) in which the rowers have been falsely placed by the restorer.
Paddlers face the bow (see n"' /i88o, 488 1 and /iH6i, and Deshasheh, pi. XV;
ScHAFER, Priestergrdber, p. yS). The rowers are represented as seated, while the
paddlers are kneeling on the outside knee. Thus it is easy to distinguish between
the two types, even when separated from their places on the boats. The only
ship in the Museum of the type under discussion having paddlers is the sailing
boat n" /i8Gi.
The sailing ships, being only rowing ships under sail, show the same crews
as the rowing ships. — look-out, steersman and rowers. Three or more of the
rowers, however, are represented as sailors standing about the mast, usually
with hands uplifted, while the others are seated at rest in various parts of
the ship, — sometimes in the places occupied in rowing (see n" ^912).
In n° 68/n, paddlers appear to be assisting the progress of a boat under sail;
but this again seems to be a false restoration as the figures are rowers not
paddles.
In addition to the working crew, the sailing ships bear the figure of the owner
(see above, p. xv). Other figures are rare, but n° A951 has a porter with
baggage beside the canopy, and n" ^918 a group of friends. N° Agog is, as
noted above (see p. xv) anomalous, and has a bier with a mummy under
the canopv, accompanied bv two wailing women and a priest. Other ships which
have come into the Museum since this catalogue was prepared, show, however,
that the owner may be accompanied ])y all manner of servants, guards and
companions. One of them (Garstang, Annales, vol. V, pi. V) has a negro soldier
with bow and shows the owner and a companion plaving a game.
6. COLORING.
The coloring is very uniform. The bull is red or yellow, representing heavy
planking. The deck has red rail and bars (in n" ^910 yellow instead of rod)
representing the framework, white spaces representing movable planking, and
black marks representing the ties of cord, thong or metal.
III. THE PAPYRUS RAFT.
The papyrus raft, so well known from the representations in the reliefs of the
01(1 and Middle Empires, is not represented among the models in this catalogue;
hut it must he mentioned here on account of its relation to other hoats of papyrus
form (Types IV and V). The structure is perfectly clear from the reliefs. The
raft is made of papyrus reeds bound together [Medum, XXllI; Deshasheh, pi. V),
to form a narrow iloat on the top of which the owner or the crew appear to
stand. The form is characterized by the heavy cylindrical ends lifting above the
water. Probably the raft was made for temporary purposes only. It could in no
case have had a long period of use ''I
The papyrus canoe -raft is the boat shown in the traditional hunting scene
in the marsh, from the Fourth Dynasty down. In fact it is the marsh boat par
excellence, and is seldom depicted except in marsh scenes (^Beni Hasan, II,
pi. XXVIII, XXIX; Deshasheh, V, VI, XXV, XXVII; Medum, XXIV). Its lightness
was well suited to the shoal waters of the marshes and of the flooded fields of the
inundation period, while its slender form with the stout pointed bow and stern
made it especially adapted for pushing in and out among the reeds. According
to the reliefs, it was usually propelled by a pole [Medum, XXIV), or by paddles
[Deshasheh, XXVII), both of which are especially adapted to shallow water.
The clay models of boats found in predynastic and early dynastic graves have
been assumed to be models of papyrus boats on account of the decoration (see
Petrie, Naqada and Ballas, p. hi a, pi. XXXVI, 80-82; Diospolis Parva, XVI,
81, 82, and Capart, Primitive Art, p. if) 9 and p. 229)'^'; but this assumption
'" Mr. J. W. Crowfoot informs me that temporary reed raffs are still used ia Dongola and Haifa
Provinces for ferrying across the Nile. These rafts, with surface almost awash, are propelled by
swimmers. Mr. H. S. Wellcome has also given me a description of the ambatch-canoe used on the
upper reaches of the Nile. The ambatch plant has a light shaft about 10 to 20 feet long varying'
from a finger thickness to two or three inches across, heavier at the butt and tapering above.
The sepoles are tied in a bundle at the ends and a very slight hollow is made by forcing out the poles
on top or by usage. Thus structurally it corresponds to the papyrus raft. The user sits on top or
in the slight hollow and paddles with his hands, with a wooden paddle or pushes with a pole. The
top is nearly awash. Mr. Wellcome has never seen more than two people in an ambatch canoe, but
he was told that w in former daysT large rafts with mast and sail were made carrying many people.
The more permanent boats are made of hollowed logs.

bound reeds; but the identification of the vessel as a copy of a boat, unsupported by analogy, is
very doubtful.

presents (liflicullies. The clay models are usually hollow, with flat-sideJ ends,
while the papyrus rafts are solid bundles of reeds with round ends. The hollow
reed-boats of other lands, as in Mesopotamia, are of closely woven basket work
smeared with mineral pitch''', but the Egyptian clay models scarcely indicate
such a structure. It may be presumed that the papyrus raft is quite as early as
the predynastic period, but could hardly have been used as a river boat. The
river boat of the predynastic period must have been of a different structure, —
hide boats with wooden frame, log canoes or wooden boats, all of which were
within the technical powers of predynastic Egyptians. For it is quite certain that
the predynastic Egyptians, as early as the Middle Predynastic period, made and
used wooden planks, mortising and tying them together with cords; and so
even the mortised planking of the wooden river boats were not, technically
speaking, impossible. It seems to me improbable, then, that the early clay boats
are models of papyrus rafts.
I have purposely not referred to the drawings of boats on the predynastic
pottery (see J. de Morgan, Origines, I, pi. II, 5; Petrie, Narjada and Ballon,
pi. LXIV, LXVII, Lll, 70-71; Petrie, Diospolis Parva, pi. XVI, XX; MacIver,
El-Amralt. pi. XIV), on the walls of Green's Tomb at Hierakonpolis (^Hicralionpolis,
pi. LXXV-LXXIX), and on the ivory tablets from the early dynastic Royal Tombs
at Abvdos (Petrie, Rot/al Tombs. I, pi. XVII: Roijal Tombs, II, pi. Xl'-^). Whatever
these may be, they are not papyrus rafts, and so far as I know, there are no
representations of papyrus rafts earlier than the Third Dynasty, and no models
resembling them until after the Sixth Dynasty.
TYPE IV. WOODEN BOATS
IMITATING THE PAPYRUS RAFT IN FORM.
A series of river boats, manifestly of wood, are represented in the reliefs and
in the models whose form suggests a derivation from that of the papyrus raft.
The bow and stern-pieces are rouglily cylindrical and end in buttons which are
decorated to resemble papyrus (lowers. Even the bands are shown with which
the bundle of reed stems were bound (like the bundle columns with open (lower
capital). This boat bears a canopy with a figure of the owner, a masi and sail,

pitch, in the samples submitted to him. See A. Lucas, Preservative Materials used by the Ancient
Egyptians in lunbalming , p. /ig.

and a crew of six or more padfllors or rowers, and is thus sharply distinguished
from the sliip of the dead (Type V). The deck of the models is, in some cases,
painted white with red bars, like Type II (see n" 680 3 and Sciiafer, Prmter-
grdbcr. p. -jh and 78), and in some cases plain white (n"' '1806, ^807, 48o8,
6880, ^911 of this catalogue).
All the models are later than the VI"' Dynasty; hut there is a representation
of this type in the reliefs in Lepsius, Denkmaler, Ergsh. I, pi. XL"', where a
papyrus- form boat is shown in the same register with three boats of Type 1.
The papvrus-form boat and one of the hoats of Type I are being rowed to the
right (downstream), while the other two are proceeding under sail to the left.
The last sail boat on the right is towing a small boat of Type 1, laden with jars
of beer or wine. The date of the tomb is probably late V"* or VI"* Dynasty'^'.
On the tablet found in the burial chamber of Mera (later than the VI"' Dyn-
asty) (see Petrie, Dcshasheh, p. 20, and pi. XXVII), two papyrus-form boats
are shown, one under sail to the right, and one being paddled to the left. See
also Davies, Deir-el-Gebrdwi, II, pi. XVII and XIX.
In his Life in Ancient Egypt (Trans.), p. 680, Prof. Erman considers the
large papyrus-form boats to have been constructed of papyrus-stems '^^ This is
always to be considered possible : but as Erman himself suggests, such boats
would have been impracticable. It is much more probable that the papyrus -form
boats were made of wood, imitating in form the papyrus raft, and used mainly
as pleasure boats for back-water or swamp navigation. A basis for this sug-
gestion may be found in Petrie, Medum, pi. XI, and in Lepsius, Denkmaler, II,
Bl. 1 08 (Zawiet-el-Meitin, 2), where wooden boats are shown being constructed
in the form of papyrus rafts. Naturally wooden boats of this form might well be
used on the river, or at any rate be so represented in the reliefs or in the
funerary furniture. The New Empire boats found in the tombs of Amenophis II
and Thothmes III appear to be derived from Type IV.
1. HULL.
The hull of the models with plain white decks is very long, narrow and
shallow, running out at each end into a long slender stem with a flower-shaped
'" Sakkara, Grab I, see text of same, vol. I, p. iSg, and Lepsius, Dei^hndler, Abt. II, BL 96.

legged mast and 1 C or more rowers or paddlers at rest. It may be, however, a boat of Type I.

termination '". It certainly lacked stability, and while sailing must liave been
liable to capsize. The hull of the models reproduced in Priestergrdber, p. 7 4 and
78, is, except for the llower-like bow and stern, like the hull of Type II. This
is, of course, suitable for river navigation, and in fact, in Deshasheh, pi. XXVII,
two such boats are represented, one under sail, proceeding upstream (to the
right), and one being paddled downstream (to the left)'"-'. N" /i8o3 presents
a third form with very stumpy projecting bow and stern.
2. DECK.
In all cases, the deck was flat, or nearly flat, in section rising slightly towards
the ends. A low rail on each side protected the deck, or in some cases the middle
part only (n° /icji 1 ).
3. RIGGING.
The mast (in some cases a single stick, in others two-legged), the yards,
the square sail, the stays and the mast-shoe, do not present essential difl'erences
from the similar parts of the boats of types I and II. N° /»8o8 has a bar on the
deck in front of the mast for fastening ropes.

N° /1880 N" /1807
The form of the stern made the use of a single fixed rudder practically impos-
sible. Therefore the steering was done with a large paddle held in the hands
of a steersman [Priestergrdber, p. 7 A and 78), or with two fixed rudders, as
in all the Museum models. In the latter case, the upper ends of the rudders
were tied to two rudder-posts as in Type II; below, the shafts were lied to and
rested on a cross-piece, which projected beyond the sides and was notched or
turned up at the ends'^'. The handles were as in Type II, and were usually

held by a single steersman. The mast- rest is not found on these boats, and is,
in fact, inconsistent with their special use for back-water navigation.
/I. CREW.
The crew does not vary from thai of the boats of Type II, — look-out,
steersman, paddlers or rowers, who also appear as sailors. Three of the models
are rigged for sailing (n"' 68o3 , USok and /i8o8), two have rowers (n°' Z1807
and 691 1): and two have paddlers (n°' ^880 and /i88i). In general this type
of boat does not have a large crew; and in the known examples including those
of the reliefs, paddlers are more frequent than rowers.
The owner is almost always represented. This is, no doubt, due to the fact
that this type of boat was always used singly, as a pleasure boat, and never as
a tug-boat.
5. FURNITURE.
The papyrus-shaped boats all have a cabin or canopy to shelter the owner.
This canopy is, as a rule, of the same chapel-like form as that of the funerary
baiks. This seems to indicate that the boats of Type IV were more of a ceremonial
nature than the boats of Types I and II.
6. COLORING.
The hull is yellow (or white); sometimes ornamented with a red stripe along
the rail (n°* ^807, I1880 and 6881). The ends are usually painted in imitation
of a bundle of flowers tied with cord in fulfilment of the conception of the
structure. The deck is white, without red bars in most of the Museum specimens,
with red bars in n" /i8o3 and in those from Abusir.
TYPE Y. FUNERAL BARKS.
Form I. Form II. Form III. Uncertain. Type I as Funeral Bark.
N°48ii N'/igiB N'/igi; N° /1925 N° igSa

ZigiS
The characteristic mark of the funeral bark is the presence of a mummy on
a bier (n°' 48ii, ^916, ^917, /1968), a mummiform figure on a throne
XXII
(n" ^916), or a cofiin (n"' /iS'iy, 6801). The stern and the how extend into
slender projections similar in their suggestion of structural origin to those of
Type IV, but do not extend out straight as in that type. There are several dif-
ferent forms representing apparently different local traditions. In Form I (see
above), the bow-piece turns up almost vertically (or at right angles to the bow),
while the stern-piece curves forward and then up'". In Form II, the bow-piece
curves back and then forward, while the stern -piece curves forward. In
Form III. both pieces are alike, curving back, bending to a horizontal line
forwards, and then turning straight up. Other forms occur in the reliefs, see
Bent Hasan, I, pi. XXIX.
All these forms suggest a papyrus-form boat, but one difTering radically from
Type IV. In spite of the fact that the Gebrawi reliefs (Davies, Deiv-el-Gehmivi, II,
pi. XX) show a papyrus raft used as a funeral bark, and other reliefs from the
same place show the papvrus-form boat (Type IV) used in the same way,
neither of these is the [)roper form of the funeral bark any more than is model
n° /ic)32, a boat of Tvpe II used as a funeral bark. The forms which may
be called characteristic of the funeral bark are those described above, and they
do not seem to be derived either from the papyrus raft or the papyrus-form
boat of Tvpe IV, but from some older primitive boat, or rather the survival of
some older boat, as preserved in the divine barks of the Old and Middle
Empires '"■'.
The funeral bark is then probably derived directly from one of the types of
divine barks of the period in which the funeral bark was first thought of. That
period is, so far as can be seen from the reliefs and the dated models, not long
previous to the XII"" Dynastv. All our dated material appears to be of the Middle
Empire, and the funeial barks of that period are represented on the reliefs as
used for the actual conveyance of the body to the cemetery. It is usually lowed
by a boat of Type II.
1. HULL.
Whatever the material and the technique of the primitive original, the
funerary bark of the Middle Empire was constructed of wood in the same
manner as the boats of Types 1 and II, — mortised planking with deck frame-
work. The two Dahshur boats (n"' ^926, ^926) are shown by the double
'" This form also occurs in tlie reliefs, Bmi Hasan , 1, pi. XIV.

rudders, the hawk- headed rudder-posts, the traces of posts at how and stern,
and the coloring, to have heen funeral harks of this type. The hull is con-
structed of mortised and tied planking'"'. There are no internal rihs, hut only
cross hraces, which appear to have home the deck planking. The form of the
hull is strikingly like that of the Dongolawi river hoat of the present day.
2. DECK.
Many of the models (n"' hSii, hSk'j, /i85i and ^9^8) show the same color
scheme on the deck as the boats of Type II, — red bars with white spaces.
These have the long beam (red bar) in the long axis of the boat, and all but
n° /i()i 1 have a mast space in the middle or slightly forward of the middle.
It may be that this feature is merely taken over blindly from Type II, for the
Dahshur boats have no long middle beam, and the other three models (n°' ^916,
^916, '^917) have the deck colored according to the structure of the Dahshur
boats. That is, n° ^910 shows a white deck with one red bar at each end of the
midship section; n° A916 the same with rail also colored red; and n° A917
white mid-ship deck with red rail and three white spaces at each end enclosed
with red bars. None of these three show a longitudinal deck-beam.
3. RIGGING.
None of these models are represented as being paddled or rowed; and only
one bears a mast, — n° kc^kS. This boat has a mast with two spars and bits
of sail, and seven sailors in characteristic attitudes. The boats n"' iB^y and
/»85 1 have a mast space marked on the deck, but no mast-hole; and in n" /iB/iy
this mast space is in fact covered by the coffin. In the reliefs of this period, the
funerary barks are represented as being towed by ships of Type II. No doubt
the models of the funerary barks were also conceived as being towed, and were,
in almost all cases, accompanied in the grave by models of Type II.
Owing to the form of the stern, the funerary boats were steered with two
rudders tied to two rudder-posts and to a crosswise rudder- rest, as in Type IV.
The rudder-posts in the Dahshur models were joined near the top with a cross
piece on which the upper ends of the rudders appear to have rested, being tied
of course as in the other cases. Normally, each rudder-post and each rudder

bore a hawk's head on the upper eiul; but in some of the models these heads
were omitted.
h. FURNITURE.
In accordance with their function, the funerary l)arks hear in all cases a
canopy covering a coftln or a simulacrum of the mummy. Each of the three from
Saqqarah, n°' ''igiS, ^916, ^917, also has a table of offerings. In n"" ^91 5
and ^91 6, there is a libation vase on the table, and a large jar (of wine or beer)
on a ring-stand beside the table. So also three are figures appropriate to a
funeral scene, — wailing women (n"' /tSii, ^91^, ^917), priest with roll
of papyrus (n"' ^9i5, ^916), priest with censor (n° h<^U^) and mourners
(?n- is 11, hn-], /i85i).
5. CREW.
In addition to the figures of wailing women, priests and mourners, just men-
tioned, the funeral barks bear normally only a look-out and a steersman, the
only working crew necessary to a towed boat. N" ^9^8, conceived as sailing,
has seven sailors; and n° ^85 1 has nine figures [k) squatting on the deck (in
addition to the six (i) about the coffin), which may represent rowers at rest.
6. COLORING.
The coloring of the funerary bark Is as characteristic as Its other features.
The hull is green, light green, or in one case (n° ^917) yellow. The normal
color appears to be the funereal green. The bow and stern pieces are yellow in
n°' 681 1, ^85 1 and 69/18, blue-green in n° ^1867, and the same color as the
hull In n*" ^19 10, 6916 and h^i']. All except the Saqqarah boats (n"* ^191 5,
6916, /1917) have narrow stripes of various colors outside below the rail, and
an ndat-eye on each side of the bow. Even the rudder-posts showed a preference
for green and yellow instead of the red and white of the other types. The rudders
were almost always elaborately painted with open (lowers, or with udat-eyes,
or both. In one case. Bent Hasan, I, pi. XVI, the tomb scenes show boats of
Type II, with rudders decorated with representations of flowers; but in the
models this form of decoration (especially the udat-eye'j seems to be reserved
for the rudders of the funerary bark.
The coloring of the figures and of the furniture does not present any unusual
features.
XXV
TYPE VI. PRIVATE SUN-BAUKS.
There are in the catalogue three models of" sun-barks Irom private tombs, —
n°' ^9^9 and ^c^5% from Bersheh, and n° /i86o from Meir. The two Bersheh
barks are of the XII"" Dynasty, and the Meir bark is of unknown date, but
probably also Xil'"" Dynasty. This bark, without rigging or crew of any sort,
bears only symbolical, or magical, objects. The characteristic mark, so far as
the form is concerned, is the hanging cover on the bow, and the traces of a
curtain adjoining it.
An examination of the divine barks represented in the temple reliefs and of
the stone models shows two distinct forms, — one with recurved uprising
ends, and one with curtained bow. The first of these seems to have given rise
to the funeral bark, the second to the sun-bark. The division of divine barks
into two distinct forms, for which I do not venture to ofler an explanation, is,
no doubl, verv early. The curtained form is apparently represented on the early
dynastic ivory tablets (see Royal Tombs, II, pi. XI, etc.), and possibly even in
Green's Tomb at Hierakonpolis'^' [HierakonpoUs, pis. LXXV-LXXIX), while the
other form is that of the hieroglyphic for divine bark as early as the III"" Dynasty.
In spite of the antiquity of the curtained form of the divine bark, the private
sun -bark is as yet unknown previous to the Middle Empire, and probably had
its origin in the development of the cult of the dead otherwise proved for that
period. Even in the Middle Empire the private sun-barks are not numerous.
I know of no representations on the walls of the tombs, nor of any models
except those in this catalogue. Unfortunately we know nothing of the catalogue
numbers except that they were found at Bersheh and Meir.
1. HULL.
The hull of the sun-bark resembles that of the funeral bark except in the
form of the bow and stern-pieces. The bow-piece in n° /i86o appears to differ
materially from that of n°' ^9^9 and h^b^ , but the holes on the inner edges
contained bits of string, and the holes along the top of this part of the post
may also have borne strings. I am inclined to believe that these strings carried
a sort of bead-work curtain falling along the sides of the bow-pieces, and
'" Tlie Hieralconpolis boats are colored wliite tilce the Bersheh models.
XJTI
presenting a box -like appearance. In other words, the box -like cover on the
bow-post in n"' •'19^9 and /i95o represent a bead-work (or cloth) curtain (see
also in this connection the stone barks n"' ^^92/1 and /igSo). Thus the dilTerence
between n" 6860 and the other two would consist mainly in the presence of
the upright round piece above the curtain. The stern -piece on n" /i86o is
missing. That on the Bersheh boats rises in a square shaft and curving outwards
becomes semi-cylindrical.
2. DECK.
The deck is white in all three examples; but in the Bersheh examples it is
marked with red bars representing the framework. N° Ag^g has longitudinal
middle bar, but not n° /igoB. The rail is very low in all three cases; and in
n" 486o, it is marked with black lines as if bound with a thong.
3. RIGGING.
The divine barks, being guided by magic or the divine will, require no
other means of propulsion nor of guidance. In later representations, however,
they are provided with rudders, like the funerary barks.
!i. FURNITURE.
All three examples present the same series of symbolic or magical objects.
These are five in number, taken from the bow backwards : — (1) * board with
nine wiaaf- feathers; (2) a box -like object lying on the side with four finger- like
black posts on each side and a hawk on the end, looking up; (3) a spool-shaped
object on end with two hawks and three black sticks on the upper end (in
n° 6860, this is possibly square); (A) a rectangular block with a semes-sign on
the front; and (0) a box-like object on end with four black posts in the upper
end. The bow cover was also decorated with upright sticks (see n" AgBA), and
with other objects (see figure of Horus as child, n° A96A).
5. CREW.
The models of sun-barks do not have any crew nor any figures. The pictorial
representations in the Book of the Dead and elsewhere sometimes show the dead
riding in the solar bark, and the divine boats have figures of the gods, in
some cases with a god acting as steersman.
XXVll
6. COLORING.
N" /i86o has a green liiiH like the funeral barks, with white ends and a red
and a white stripe along the rail. The rail is yellow wifh diagonal red lines : the
deck white : and the bow- piece variegated in color. The Bersheh examples
n"' /.9/I9 and /k)53) have white hulls, white decks with red bars, blue and
white bow cover, and black and while stern-piece.
With the small material, it is difilcult to determine the normal coloring,
although it is probably white, not green. If the green of n" /1860 is not due to
a mere confusion with the funerary bark, it may mark a difference in function
between the two kinds of sun-barks : for in all the boat models, the color is
significant either of structure or of function.
VII. DIVINE BARKS.
There are six models of divine barks in the Museum. — five of stone and
one of wood. N" 292/1 is a large granite boat; n" /igBo, a large limestone boat.
Both are from Mitrahineh, evidently from a temple. The small stone boats,
""^ ^9^9' ^^922, /1923, /197/1, and h^-jo are of unknown provenance; but
similar boats are found in graves of the Middle Empire and in town sites.
N° 6928 has an hippopotamus on the top, while n°' /191 9, /,92 2 and 6976
have a cabin-like object. The wooden boat, n" /1929, a New Empire papyrus-
form boat from the Tomb of the Priests of Amon at Thebes, has an empty
wooden chapel on the deck, and is elaborately painted with udat-eyes on the
bow, green and red stripes along the side, and a black keel, all on a yellow
background.
These models, although small in number, show the two forms of divine barks
mentioned above (see p. xxv), {a) that with recurved ends of papyrus-form and
(b) that with curtained bow. The latter type is that of the large divine boats of
the temples. The papyrus-form type is more especially connected with funerary
rites and the Under-World.
VIII. NEW EMPIRE BOAT MODELS.
The only New Empire boat models, aside from the boat found in the Tomb
of the Priests of Amon {n" lic)2^), were the models found in the royal tombs
of Amenophis 11 and Thothmes III at Thebes. These are all shown by their
IXVIII
decorations to be more or less ceremonial in character but are scarcely to be
called either funerary or solar barks. They were fitted with long lines of rowers,
cabins, landing planks and other implements inconsistent with their identification
as funerary or solar barks. Nor are (hey of the form of such barks shown in
the papyri and the reliefs of the period. The form is manifestly derived from
that of Type IV and the function is no doubt the same — that of pleasure boats
in this case for the use of the king. The practical boats and ships of the period
are to be found in abundance in the reliefs of the New Empire. But models are
not to be found; and a discussion of the boats and ships of later times, however
interesting, lies outside the present field, that of boat-models.
Before closing this introduction, it is necessary to give two explanations
in regard to the descriptive catalogue. In the first place, the n°' /jf)/i^-/Kj4G
and 5o34-59oo have already been sufficiently described by M. Daressy in the
Catalogue general in the volume entitled Fouilles de la Vallec des Rois, which is
refered to in the text as Daressv, Fouilles, but are repeated here for the sake
of completness. At the time the present catalogue was made, M. Daressy "s work
of assembling the scattered parts was unfinished. When he came to make the
catalogue in the Fouilles, he very properly grouped the objects in classes and
renumbered them. I have given under Bihliogvaphij the reference to the new
number, except in a few cases where the object could not be identified.
The second explanation concerns the discrepancies which will be noted
between the descriptions and the representations on the plates. These are due
partly to faults of restoration, which I trust have been sufficiently noted in the
text, and partly to the almost unavoidable displacement of parts during the
removal from the old to the new museum. The text was prepared in 1898 at
the old museum in Giza; and in all discrepancies, it expresses the result of my
personal examination of the model.

loops between the rings. The rope forming the rings is made fast to very lip of mast,
passes down the mast to place of first ring, passes twice around mast, is tied once
in simple knot and then passes down to place of second knot (fig. i i a). At the last
ring the end of the rope is knotted and slipped under (fig. i i3). The other rope is

20 cent., above thi' deck and is cut off square before reaching tip of bow and of
stern, simihir to n" /1807. The deck enclosed by the rail is closed at ends by Iwo
cross pieces (now gone) one of which, that in stern, extended beyond the sides of
boat and served as rest for the rudders. Beyond the cross pieces, instead of raised
rail, semicijlindrical slaves are laid lengthwise along top of sides of boat, one on each
side (fig. 3 17). The deck covered the whole boat from stern to bow though much of
it is now lost.
Rigging : Two rudder-posts ^^^ square at bolloni, round above, each surmounted by a
hawk's head, originally joined together by a cross piece at top of posts. Two ruddei-s,
with round-tipped blade, long round stem and slanting hole for handle''^'. At bow
and at stern, a hole on each side (fig. 3 i 1 . a) through outer edge of rail.

The rudders consist of long stem, running the whole length, which is llattened
where it enters the "blade; the sides of the blade are each of a separate piece (in
one case two pieces) sot on to stem with pegs (like fig. 3 1/1), three on each side.
There are also a number of round holes (1 centimetre in diameter) through the blade,
which seem to be from old construction. The stem has above a tongue (o m. 02 c. □)
which fits into hole in underside of hawk's head.
The boat is made for the most part of wood which had been used once before and
a number of holes used in the former construction have been filled with wood or
plaster. The underside of boards used for deck was only roughly hewn and only
the upper side was covered with plaster. The rail and the bottom of the boat also,
still show traces of plaster. The cross-pieces closing the rail were fastened, the one
in the stern by means of the square iioles^, the one in bow by means of round
holes (r).
Preservation : Most of deck, parts marked with x in figure 3i 1 , most of plaster and
paint are gone. Parts marked with x are modern; and M. Barsanti informs me
that most of the dove-tails arc also modern.

Frasie : Two lenglhwise pieces, curved upwards slightly at forward end, and four cross-
pieces '". The lengthwise pieces contain a number of slots and holes, for holding
pieces laid across from side to side (fig. 826, a), and for holding upright pieces,
posts, etc. (b), arranged symmetrically in pairs. Three pairs of holes for tieing pass
through outer edge (c). See also inner upper edge (d). The inside of lengthwise
pieces contains seven pairs of holes passing in and out on same surface (e). In the
cross pieces there are holes for tieing passing through upper hack edge (f), upper
front edge (g, in n° 2 and /i), lower back edge (h, in n" 3), lower front edge (i, in
n" 3), in front face (k, in n° 3).
Coloring : No traces.
Technique : The cross beams (1,2 and /i) have at each end a tongue which fits into a
slot in lengthwise beam(l). The tongue'-' was fastened by two pegs(?) through the
holes m (these holes pass through the tongue hut not into beam below). A slot(n)
passes down into the lengthwise beams just at end of tongue of beams 1 and h. At
end of tongue opposite 9, a hole passes in and out on same surface (0). Beam n" 3
has tongue at left end resting in slot in lengthwise beam (p) and the right end is dove-
tailed into beam, the dove-tail being pegged fast ((j). A number of pieces of wood have
been patched in, being fastened with pegs (r, three on forward part). On inside of
beam on right between beam 1 and back end, there is a narrow slot which was filled
with piece of wood held by pegs. Some of the cracks are filled with plaster.
Preservation : Surface and edges more or less eaten or rotted a\iay so that strictly
exact measurements are difficult to make. Cross-beam n° 3 is very badly damaged
on the left half.
